The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you—lookin' at the next 16 days for Narragansett Town Beach, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty much a flat spell, and I'm not seeing any real standout days that'll get your heart pumping. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. There's just no energy.
The water temp is sitting at about 70°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that's not the issue. The problem is the swell. It's a sheltered spot, and the south swells that do sneak in are tiny and weak. You'll see a few days with a bit of wind, like Thursday September 10th, where the combined energy jumps up to 406 (moderate wave energy), but the swell height is only 5 feet from the SSW. The problem is, the wind is howling from the SW at 15 mph, making it a cross-off, and the whole thing is rated as poor surf conditions. It's just not gonna be rideable. For a beginner spot, 5 feet is already pushing it, and with that wind, it's a mess. Any other day with a pulse is barely a ripple, with combined energy values in the single digits or low tens.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those windier days, but for us, it's a blank run. Sometimes that's just how it goes in this area. The forecast can change, but for now, there's nothing to get excited about. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next one.
Rusty.
